Settings
For maximum cleaning perfor-
mance, the following carpet height
settings are recommended:
• Lowest setting: for all types of
carpet and hard surface flooring.
Note: If the cleaner is difficult to push,
turn knob to the next higher setting.
• Higher settings: for very deep pile
carpet, where easier pushing effort is
desired, while maintaining good clean-
ing performance.

the floor and for reaching hard to clean
areas.
The cleaner is ready for tool use when

to rotate while cleaner handle is
in upright position. Avoid tipping
cleaner or setting it on furniture,
fringed area rugs or carpeted
stairs during tool use.

positions; upright for storage and
when using cleaning tools; operating
position for general operation on car-

ward strokes.
